get-ncquota and set-ncquota use different Disklimits

koenraad0 — Wed, 29 Nov 2017 13:18:22 GMT

Set-NcQuota accepts a Disklimit in bytes.
Get-NcQuota returns Disklimit in kilobytes.

This is confusing and difficult when used in scripts.

I think this is a bug.
Toolkit version = 4.5
Cluster Ontap Version: NetApp Release 9.1P3

To reproduce:

Set-NcQuota -User 'domain\user' -volume testvolume - disklimit 3500MB -vservercontext VS0

(Get-NcQuota -Type User -Target 'domain\user' -volume testvolume -vservercontext VS0).Disklimit / 1MB

I'm transforming a 7-Mode script to Cluster-Mode.
Get-NaQuota & Set-NaQuota work as expected.

Hello @koenraad0,

This does appear to be a "quirk" of the PowerShell Toolkit. The API returns values in KB. I created a bug (#1128658).

Hey Andrew, is there a fix forthcoming? We ran into the same issue.

Thanks!

Kevin

Get-NcQuotaReport also reports space usage in KB. Kind of annoying and un-PowerShell. 🙁
